Question 894725: The annual precipitation amounts in a certain mountain range are normally distributed with a mean of 88 inches, and a standard deviation of 10 inches. What is the likelihood that the mean annual precipitation during 25 randomly picked years will be less than 90.8 inches? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The annual precipitation amounts in a certain mountain range are normally distributed with a mean of 88 inches, and a standard deviation of 10 inches. What is the likelihood that the mean annual precipitation during 25 randomly picked years will be less than 90.8 inches?
-----------------
z(90.8) = (90.8-88)/[10/sqrt(25)] = 2.8/2 = 1.4
---------------------------
P(x < 90.8) = P(z < 1.4) = normalcdf(-100,1.4) = 0.9192
